Common Causes of Rear-End Collisions

While determining fault and liability in a rear-end collision accident is usually complicated, rear-end collisions are relatively simple. The driver who collided with the back of the car in front of him is presumed to be at fault for the accident.

There are exceptions to this general rule, but they are rare, and they don't come in to play in most of the common causes of these collisions. Those include:

• Reckless driving, especially speeding
• Following too closely behind the car in front
• Distracted driving, including and especially texting while driving
• Failure to take weather and road conditions into account
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Whatever the cause of your rear-end collision, you can speak to our car accident attorneys about your case at a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll investigate your case and establish fault.

Common Rear-End Collision Injuries

Rear-end collisions don't usually take place at high speeds, but the sudden impact causes you to lurch forward, which can put you at risk for:

• Neck injuries, especially whiplash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Concussions from contact with the dashboard or steering wheel

This is obviously not an exhaustive list. Our car accident attorneys have access to medical experts who will evaluate your condition and testify as to its severity.

Always seek medical attention after a car accident.
